Anime catalog and score enrichment
Use Anime endpoints to turn anime catalog and score enrichment into repeatable API requests with documented inputs and JSON responses.
Turn public AniList anime data into structured JSON — search, title detail with average and mean scores, popularity, favourites, genres, ranked tags, studios, and MyAnimeList cross-reference ids, plus rankings, characters, staff, recommendations, and airing schedules for catalogs, recommendation, and research. Credential-free.
Extract anime detail, scores, popularity, rankings, genres, tags, studios, characters, staff, recommendations, and airing schedules as structured JSON.

Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Anime endpoint catalog — 9 endpoints, 38 documented request parameters, and 9 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
9 documented Anime endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Title, Character and Airing Schedule, plus 2 more.
38 request parameters are documented across those Anime endpoints, 16 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
9 of the 9 Anime endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 9 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Anime endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 500 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
9 hosted MCP tools back the Anime endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/anime/searchSearches anime by free-text query. Returns entries: titles, scores, popularity, format, status, season, genres, tags, and studios.

Pass mal=true to additionally enrich the response with the MyAnimeList community score (mal block: score on a 0-10 scale, plus scored-by count).

How to scrape Anime
Crawlora's Anime endpoints return AniList's anime catalog as normalized JSON with one API key: search, title detail, seasonal rankings, characters, staff, recommendations, and a live airing schedule. The main difference from the Manga endpoints is time. Anime titles carry a broadcast season, episode count, episode duration, and studios, and /anime/airing-schedule gives the next episode's exact air time.
/anime/rankings filters by season (WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER, or FALL), season_year, format (TV, TV_SHORT, MOVIE, SPECIAL, OVA, ONA, or MUSIC), genre, and status, and sorts by TRENDING_DESC, POPULARITY_DESC, SCORE_DESC, and others. season=FALL&season_year=2026&sort=POPULARITY_DESC ranks the season's shows by popularity, including ones still NOT_YET_RELEASED. total tops out at 5000, so treat it as a ceiling and page with has_next_page.
/anime/title/{id} returns episodes, duration in minutes, season and season_year, start_date and end_date, studios, genres, ranked tags, and id_mal. Add mal=true to fetch MyAnimeList's own score as well. For Cowboy Bebop that was 8.75 from 1,075,649 votes, alongside AniList's average_score of 86.
/anime/airing-schedule lists upcoming episodes with episode number, airing_at (a Unix timestamp), time_until_airing in seconds, and the show's media block. Long-runners appear here too, including Doraemon at episode 933 and Sazae-san at episode 2850.
/anime/character/search finds characters by name, and 'luffy' returns Luffy Monkey with 36,000 favourites. /anime/title/{id}/staff includes voice and music credits with detailed roles, such as Theme Song Performance (English; OP1, OP3, ED11). /anime/title/{id}/characters and /anime/title/{id}/recommendations page through the rest.
FAQ
Yes. Call /anime/rankings with season and season_year, for example FALL and 2026, and sort by POPULARITY_DESC or TRENDING_DESC. Upcoming shows come back with status NOT_YET_RELEASED.
/anime/airing-schedule returns airing_at as a Unix timestamp and time_until_airing in seconds for each upcoming episode, with the show's details attached.
No. AniList numbers anime and manga separately. One Piece is anime 21 but manga 30013 (MyAnimeList ids 21 and 13), so look a title up through the matching endpoint family.
Yes. Every title carries id_mal, and /anime/title/{id}?mal=true adds a mal block with MyAnimeList's score, scored_by count, and URL.
